entry level car

It looks cheap, but it is dependable if you need basic transportation to get to and from work. Not made to last, it isn't holding up well. Windows broke a long time ago; air is broken; trunk latch is broken.

For it's age, it does well.

I like it. It's not super girly or boxy and old looking. I like that it is a two door. The interior is quite ugly. Overall, the car is beginning to break down because of it's age.

5 star
